This
undated photo, provided by Sotheby's in New York, shows the Vostok
3KA-2 space capsule, flown by mannequin cosmonaut Ivan Ivanovich on
March 25, 1961--the final test mission prior to Yury Gagarin's first
space flight. The capsule, the only Vostok space capsule outside of
Russia and the only one in private hands, is scheduled to be offered at
auction by Sotheby's on April 12, 2011, the 50th anniversary of
Gagarin's flight. Source: AP
